Thermal Analysis of an Electrical Wire
Created using ANSYS (Version Number)
Learning Goals
In this tutorial, you will learn to:
- (e.g.: Determine the displacements and stresses in a bike crank using 3D FEA capabilities in ANSYS Mechanical)
- (e.g.: Verify the finite-element results from ANSYS by refining the mesh and also comparing with hand calculations)

AIM 18.2
Problem Specification
For this demonstration we are asked to determine the centerline temperature Tc and surface temperature of a bare steel wire carrying a current I and having a resistance R. The surface convection coefficient between the wire and the ambient air (at temperature Ta) is h.
Given values:
k=13 BTU/hr*ft*F
h=5 BTU/hr*ft2*F
R=0.0001 /ft
Ta=70 F
I=1000 A
